When/How to Upgrade from Tiger 10.4?

Hi,
I am wondering when I should be thinking about upgrading to a newer version from 10.4 which I bought a couple of years ago. So a couple of questions:
1. How often should I be upgrading to newer versions?
2. If I should upgrade, do I upgrade to the newest version or a later version, i.e. Snow Leopard?
3. I am about to set up my first external 500GB hard drive, should I do that first, back up the hard drive and then upgrade?
Thanks for educating me.

PharmCharm:
Your Intel iMac will support the latest version of OS X Snow Leopard as well as Leopard. I would suggest Snow Leopard, partly because it is easier to obtain and also because it is a serious upgrade from Leopard. It occupies less disk capacity and is a bit faster. It supports 64-bit, if that makes a difference to you. Neither Leopard nor Snow Leopard, support Classic, so if you have apps that need Classic your options are to stay with Tiger, or install OS 9 on an external drive.
How often should I be upgrading to newer versions?
As often as you wish and your hardware will support. Staying current means you have an OS that is supported. The downside is that you may have apps that are not supported in later versions of OS X and you will need to update, if any are available.
If I should upgrade, do I upgrade to the newest version or a later version, i.e. Snow Leopard?
I responded to this earlier. If you have questions about it, please post back.

I think that is a good plan. You should have a good backup before upgrading should things not work out as planned.

  • IMac shuts down when trying to upgrade from Tiger to Leopard

    My iMac, purchased in November of '07, came installed with Tiger but also came with a Leopard OS update disk. When trying to upgrade to Leopard last week, every time I rebooted off the disk the computer would run for a minute in the gray screen and then suddenly shut off with no warning message. I checked HD in disk utilities, repaired my permissions and tried again with the same results. I've got 30 gigs of free space and 4 gigs of RAM which should be plenty. I talked to Apple support who walked me through the installation procedure with the same results and ended up shipping me a new install disk which came today. I am getting the same shut down on reboot with their replacement disk. Apple actually sent me two white disks. The first is labeled "For Mac Computers, Mac OSX Install disc 1" The second is labeled "MacBook, Mac OSX Install Disc 2" Since the second disc is label "MacBook" is it possible they sent me the wrong set of discs?
    Thanks

    rk87,
    Thanks for replying. I have a 500 gig hard drive which yields a 465gig usable capacity, so, at 30 Gigs available, I don't have 10% of the drive free. This may be an issue, but my more immediate problem is that I can't get the install disk to boot up at all.
    I called apple support again see what I could find out about the install disks which wouldn't work. The support guy seemed like he had a lot of knowledge about the system and suggested trying the Tiger install disk (that came with the machine) to see if it would boot up, which it did. After that success, I tried the Leopard update disk in another iMac I have at home and it worked as it should. Since the disk worked fine on the other mac, the guy at tech support speculated that there is some sort of hardware issue causing the install shut down on the computer in question.
    His speculation was about the memory installed in the machine which might be the issue. I had bought the computer from an Apple Authorized store here in town who upgraded the RAM to 4GIGs using third-party memory. Even though the memory seems to have functioned properly for the past year, apple support says that there could be some sort of incompatibility with the third party product causing the install disk not to work.
    Apple support told me about running a memory diagnostic off of the Tiger install disk by rebooting with the disk in the computer and hold down the "D" key. After I got off the phone I ran the test which turned out to take an hour in its long version. The test indicated no problems, but apple had told me that it might not be totally conclusive. At this point, I'm taking the computer back to the store where I bought it and will let them figure it out.

  • How to upgrade from Tiger to Snow Leopard

    My brother recently donated his imac(Tiger version) and bought a new Mac with snow leopard already installed. So I cleaned up my new imac with a fresh install and tried to upgrade it to snow leopard but no to avail.
    popped in snow leopard (upgrade disc) -> installer rebooted -> i selected the language -> then Error: "Mac OS X Cannot be installed on this computer"
    Anyone can help me? Thank you.

    Yes like V.K. said a retail copy is your best bet, but still check that you have an Intel Mac before you spend money on a new copy of Snow Leopard.
    a PPC mac wouldn't be able to even boot from a Snow leopard DVD. as the OP has gotten as far as booting from the DVd it means he has an intel mac.

  • How can I upgrade from Tiger to Leopard

    Hello all, hope you can help me.
    I´m running Tiger Last Vers on a white MacBook with 1.83 GHz, 55GB Hd and 2 GB RAM.
    The thing is that the iPhone 3gs is running quite well (not last version updated, but at least, it runs) and I recently got an iPhone 4, that is too new for my Tiger.
    Thus, needs an upgrade, but the Apple Store only provides  the Snow Leopard.
    So:
    .- Can I upgrade the Tiger to the SnowLeopard directly, buying the OS from the Apple Store?
    .- Do I need first to upgrade Tiger to Leopard? If so, how do I do that?
    I know the very best option is buying a new Mac, but currently for me it doesn´t make any sense as I only want it to sync my devices...
    So, any idea?
    It´s been almost 10 days since I got my iPhone 4, and I cannot even start it!
    Much appreciated

  • Want to upgrade from Tiger to Snow Leopard

    I spent over an hour through the apple store web site and cant find a way to upgrade directly from Mac OS 10.4 Tiger to the latest Snow Leopard version.
    The Apple web site gives only one purchase possibility : to upgrade from Leopard 10.5 to Snow Leopard 10.6. But how to upgrade from Tiger to Snow Leopard ?

    this has been oft asked and answered. you can buy a Macbox set which will give you snow leopard, ilife and and iwork. or you can buy a $29 standalong snow leoaprd dvd although there is a big disagreement on the board whether using it to go from tiger to snow leopard directly violates ULA (I think it does). but the actual disk is the same as in the macbox set and either one will upgrade you to SL.

  • HELP! HOW DO I KEEP LOGIC WHEN UPGRADING FROM TIGER TO SNOW LEOPARD!

    So I use a later macbook but have another slightly older one (got it in 2007) that kinda kicked the bucket. I'm now able to use it again (with a new setup). I have Logic express (an older version) but the macbook is running that last version of tiger before leopard. I want to upgrade to snow leopard (which i've learned I can from tiger directly for the low price) but I don't want to lose logic since I payed for it and don't have the install discs anymore.
    I don't mind getting rid of everything else but I want to keep the actual program on the comp and just run it in SL. What specifically do I have to do (as far as backing up and all that) to CLEANLY upgrade from tiger to SL but keep logic? I'll have an external HD by the time I'm ready so keep that in consideration.

    I have never used Logic Express so I can't help you but if you to the Logic Express Forum and repost over there you might be able to find someone who knows about Logic Express to help you.

  • I just bought a g4 power pc 1gig new in the box.  I have an iMac that I had upgraded from Tiger to Lepoard.  When I put my Lepoard disc in the g4 it gave me a message to restart but when I try to restart it only powers and repeats the message what do I do

    I have an iMac that I upgraded from Tiger to Lepoard.  I found a brand new power pc g4 1gig never unpacked and tried to use my Lepoard disk to upgrade the os but I get a restart message  but when I power down it stays off and when I power up I get the restart message.  If I can't upgrade to Lepoard how do I get the computer to eject my Lepoard disk and go back to the os that was on it?  Thank you anyone who can advise.
    Peace

    When you power up the computer hold down the click bar on the track pad (or the left click on a mouse) and the computer will eject the disk.

    Whenever I start Mail it says it's going to upgrade all my mboxes. It then crashes. Which is great.

    I am assuming you upgraded from Tiger to Leopard? What type of installation did you use?
    My suggestion would be to
    1.) go to your home folder and MOVE the mailboxes to the desktop -
    • Home>Library>Mail
    2.) Move "Mail" Folder to desktop
    3.) Reopen Mail.app
    4.) Setup account settings with no existing mailboxes
    5.) Wait
    • Allow mailboxes to download or set up any existing mail from mail servers
    6.) Take ALL accounts OFFLINE after mail is downloaded from servers - disable network activity before importing old mailboxes
    7.) Import OLD Mailboxes
    • File>Import Mailboxes...
    • Import data from "mac os x mailboxes" OR "mbox files"
    8.) Wait
    • It should be a few moments to load these depending on how much existing mail you have.
    9.) If you have duplicates I highly reccomend using these apple scripts from aamann to resolve any additional issues:
    • http://homepage.mac.com/aamann/Mail_Scripts.html
    Apple Scripts:
    Add Addresses (Mail)
    * Add addresses found in the selected messages (in the header fields "From", "To", "Cc", "Bcc", and "Reply-To") to the Address Book. This is much more flexible than the "Add Sender to Address Book" available in Mail and provides a convenient way for creating mailing lists.
    Archive Messages (Mail)
    * Move messages from the selected mailbox(es) to an archive mailbox or export them to standard mbox, plain or rich text files for backup purposes or import into other applications. You can select to move all messages or only messages sent within or certain period as well filter messages based on their read and flagged status.
    Change SMTP Server (Mail)
    * Switch between different already defined SMTP servers or define a new one. This is especially useful if you are using your computer in more than one location and have to switch servers for several accounts at once.
    Create Rule (Mail)
    * Create a new rule based on the first of the selected messages. This saves you the trouble of copy/pasting address or other info between the message and the rule window and provides a much quicker way for setting up a rule with multiple criteria/actions.
    Remove Duplicates (Mail)
    * Locate all duplicate messages found in the selected mailbox(es) and move them to a separate mailbox for easy removal (duplicate matching is based on the unique message header "Message-Id").
    Schedule Delivery (Mail)
    * Allows you to send individual messages at predefined times (this script uses iCal for scheduling message delivery).
    Send all Drafts (Mail)
    * Immediately send all messages in the "Drafts" folders for all accounts. This saves you from having to open each draft in order to send it.
    Open Mailbox, Open Message (Mail)
    * Two small faceless scripts which will open mailboxes with new messages or the new messages themselves when run as a rule action.
    Filter Sent Messages (Mail)
    * Another faceless scripts which will apply your rules to the messages in the "Sent" mailbox.
    Export Addresses (Address Book)
    * Export addresses from the Address Book into tab-delimited text files. You can select which groups and which fields you want to export.
    Search Addresses (Address Book)
    * Find all addresses inside the Address Book matching one or more criteria. As opposed to the "Search" function built into the Address Book, this lets you search in any field as well as for empty and non-empty fields (Note: due to a bug in the Address Book's AppleScript implementation, "First Name" will always return a non-empty value for system versions of at least up to 10.3.2 - I have reported this bug to Apple and hope that they fix it with the next system update).
    * As an example, you might use this script to search for all phone numbers with a certain area code in order to update your contacts after an area code change.
    Good Luck,
    Hope this helps!

  • I am upgrading from Tiger to Snow Leopard. I keep getting an error when I try to load the Mac Os x update combined. It says that it was corrupted during download. Have try loading from Apple website V10.6.7 upgrade combined but it still won't do it?

    I have an Intel Desktop iMac and I am upgrading from Tiger to Snow Leopard. I keep getting an error when it tries to load the Mac OS X update combined. It says that it was corrupted during download. Have try loading from Apple website  Mac OS X V10.6.7 upgrade combined but it still won't do it? Any other suggestions. The printer is not working either - I am not sure if they are connected. Everything else is fine.

    Please excuse, but I have to ask an obvious question: Did you already update using the Snow Leopard Retail install DVD? (You must do this first; 10.6.7 is just an update if you already have 10.6.) Are you, then, trying to update from whatever version was on the install DVD to 10.6.7?
    Otherwise, I'd keep trying. The 10.6.7 Combo is a huge update.

  • What will I lose when upgrading from Tiger to Leopard

    I am relatively new to Macs and am concerned about what I will lost if we upgrade out Mac mini server from Tiger to leopard. There was a time when new Apple computers were not backward compatible, certainly Microsoft upgrades always have issues. Thus I have fear for performing an upgrade from Tiger to Leopard on our server without knowing what we are in for.
    I looked at some of the discussion threads here and elsewhere. I see a lot of minutiae but none that would be an issue to me. Then again, no one seems to put out a publication (including/especially Apple) that say here are the possible drawbacks.
    I guess our biggest concern in our existing data. Are there any types of document formats that we will no longer be able to read?
    I assume Office, Photoshop and those types of programs will be fine as surely the publishers have issues the necessary updates. Is that correct?
    Are there any mainstream issues that could come as a surprise to us and present serious problems?
    Thank you,
    Robert

    I guess our biggest concern in our existing data. Are there any types of >>document formats that we will no longer be able to read?
    Only if the applications which open those documents run in Classic.
    And only if you do not have another program that can open them.
    for example, Filemaker...I used FM5 (classic app)...OSX versions of FM were both overkill for my needs and cost prohibitive, so I never upgraded.
    Lost access to all those files.
    Fortunately, I was able to download a demo of FM9, open the files, export them to XLS format, then open them in either excel or numbers. Of course, lost the database functionality, embedded images were no longer there, and calculated fields failed, but at least the data fields converted.
    The issue in photoshop, from what I understand, is saving to a network drive.
    (possible file corruption)
    Save locally, then copy to a network drive, and pshop should work fine.
    Are you already on Intel, or are you on PPC? you may find some other quirks if you are also upgrading to an Intel based system.
    Things like QT and browser plugins that are not Universal binaries.

  • I want to upgrade from Tiger to Snow Leopard on my 2008 MacPro. How do I avoid problems with the upgrade process?

    I want to upgrade from Tiger to Snow Leopard on my 2008 MacPro. How do I avoid problems with the upgrade process?

    #1 Do a complete bootable backup of your drive before upgrading. That way should anything happen you can revert back to the start and try again.
    Make sure you meet Snow Leopard 10.6 Technical Requirements - http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
    You might also want to make sure you don't have software issues with SL:

  • Do I need to backup my files when upgrading from tiger to leopard?

    Not sure if I need to backup all my files before upgrading from Tiger to Leopard (to use a Mac Box Set), have bought a Seagate 1TB FreeAgent GoFlex Home hard drive to back up on. Was told I wouldn't need a WiFi router but have now discovered I would need a dual Ethernet port to be connected to the internet and the hard drive which my Mac mini only has access for one, either the internet or the hard drive. So I ask do I really need to back up before upgrading? or can you get dual Ethernet ports?

    Only if your data has any value to you.
    If everything works perfectly, you should lose nothing.
    If anything goes wrong, it is possible to lose data.
    Personally I don't want to trust my data to everything working perfectly so I back it up.
    As to the question of dual ethernet ports, you don't need them actually. If you create a LAN with a router then the multiple ports on your router will allow you to connect to both the internet and disk at once.

  • I have upgraded from tiger to leopard and seem to have lost Photoshop 7.0. how do i retrieve it?

    I have upgraded from tiger to leopard and seem to have lost Photoshop 7.0. Is it possible to retrieve it

    Photoshop 7.0 only goes as far as 10.4.11
    If you have a drive, you can put 10.4.11 on it or a partition of it
    and save some money.
    I am not convinced the upgrade is worth it,
    but I just do simple things.
